I have so much fun making these bags this spring and summer. My daughter wanted a black and purple bag for her birthday and I couldn't find a fabric that didn't look like Halloween. I bought the deepest purple I could find and designed my own fabric with black and flowers. It was fun, I hope she likes it!!

Thanks for looking....

You have a marvelous eye for color! These are all great! Let's see, I like purple... ;-)

The pattern is Called...On Tour Bag.....By Poor House Designs. I bought it at a quilt shop, I just wanted to try something different than a bow tucks. These seem to hold so much and I love the shape!!

Great bags! Love how fabric changes the looks.

Just love your bags! They look professionally made.
I just purchased a bag pattern that calls for the drapery grommets. Could you tell me where you got the turquoise grommets and what size they are? They would match the material for my bag perfectly, but can't find them anywhere. Thanks

Love them!

laughingquilter 06-15-2011 07:05 PM

I LOVE those bags! Great job - are you going to publish a pattern?

needles3thread 06-15-2011 08:21 PM

The bags are great........would be proud to say I made them.

TacoMama 06-15-2011 08:22 PM

I bought them at Joann's and I threw away the packaging. But when I measure them they are 2 1/4 inch across, not the inside circle the outside. They come in a package enough for 2 bags. I have enough for another bag and will not use them. If you send me a pm with your address I would be happy to send them to you. I don't think I will ever use them. Just let me know and I will put them in the mail.

Just checked my pattern...It calls for grommets that are 1 9/16 inch in diameter. Again mine are 2 1/4 inch across...They don't seem bigger and fit my bag nicely, I think you can use what you want.

Wow...they are beautiful.

debcavan 06-16-2011 03:40 AM

Great bags. You do a great job and choose such fun fabrics

Jates 06-16-2011 03:42 AM

Awesome!

pokergal3 06-16-2011 03:45 AM

Love your choices of colors! Beautiful!

Laura, Thank you so much for your kind offer. Unfortunately my bag calls for 8 grommets. :cry: But knowing that you got them from Joanns helps. My Joann's doesn't have that color, but perhaps I can get them online. Once again, I really love your bags. You do great work.

MDMPanther 06-16-2011 05:47 AM

These are really cute!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great bags -- they look like fun. I need to finish the ones I have started :)

MellieKQuilter 06-16-2011 08:02 AM

Is this a pattern? Or your own pattern? Love these!

sewdarnbusy 06-16-2011 08:03 AM

I like all of them... very cute!!

Another place you might try is...www.batiks.com

I ordered my clear grommets there and they had several other colors. I also ordered my pattern from there, I previously posted that I bought it at a quilt shop, but I just remembered that it was on that site.

Thanks for your kind comments...
